Using the Prompt Box in JavaScript

Using the prompt box in Java

The prompt box is used to input a value from the user. It contains a textbox, OK, and Cancel buttons. The user has to click either the OK or Cancel button to continue the execution of the code after entering the input value. If the OK button is clicked, the input value is returned. Otherwise, the box returns a null value.

Demo
